Jen was working at a large company, where she had to work a lot. She was doing long shifts, where reports and emails were constantly coming and going. She was on the head of a project, and with its success, she would be promoted.
Then their new director, James arrived. Her friend Mara told her that James was a handsome man. He was like a god amongst men. It was impossible to not notice him.
Then, company announced that there was a new opening in the project manager position, and that there would be a competition.
As Jen was already working as the head of a project, she thought that she would get promoted after her project’s success.
Then her biggest rival, Molly grinned at Jen. “Looks like we’re up against each other, huh?”
While Jen was focusing on her project, Molly was focusing on James. Jen realised that she was trying to seduce James so she would get the promotion.
*****
One day, Jen fell asleep while working. She worked for hours last night and she fell asleep on her laptop during the day. When she woke up, the office was empty, but James’ room’s lights were open. Molly was at the door, asked James, “Dinner?”
James smiled, and what he said was not heard by Jen. They went to the elevator together.
Then the next day arrived, it was the day who will get promoted will be decided. Jen was nervous. She worked hard and was ready to present a successful project.
Then she saw Molly, she was wearing the same outfit from yesterday. It was clear she didn’t go home yesterday.
Then James asked Molly to start. When she started, Jen’s heart skipped a beat because Molly was presenting Jen’s project. She was frozen. Then Jen’s turn came.
“She stole my work!” Jen raised her voice. “That presentation was mine. She copied everything!”
She went and brought her laptop, but it was empty. All the files were gone. She was panicking.
“Looking for this?” Molly grinned, as she showed her laptop’s screen. She copied the files, and then deleted from Jen’s laptop, while she was sleeping.
James then explained that Molly presented her last night. When the meeting was over, James asked to speak with Jen in private.
She accused James with choosing Molly because they were romantically involved. she then accidentally told him that she was liking him too, but she was keeping things professional at the same time.
Then James sent her back to home, and wanted her to rest. “You’re making false claims, Jen. Go have a rest.”
At home, Jen stalked Molly’s social media account, and noticed that she didn’t spend the night with James. She was with her friend and they were at a bar together. Then her door got knocked.
James was on the door. She didn’t open the door as she stated that she was not available, and needed time.
A minute later, she saw James waiting at the fire escape. With a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
He apologized that he shouldn’t have trusted Molly. “I’ve reviewed everything. Your work… It’s brilliant. It’s clear now. You were right all along.”
Then he asked that if she was telling the truth about her feelings. Jen was shocked. James was waiting for her response as he was nervous. He was also smiling. Then Jen nodded.
As James was relieved, he started to laugh. Then Jen laughed as they held hands. “Oh, and by the way, you’ve been promoted. You’ll be leading your own department now.”
“What?”
